Detenebrate: to free from darkness or obscurity.
New Plymouth artist Jacqueline Elley works with light and muka to transform the Open Window Gallery space into a light box.
Muka is a processed flax fibre traditionally produced in Taranaki both industrially and by hand. Exploring the tensions between surfaces/containment, nature/culture and illumination/darkness, this site-responsive installation alludes to Maori and Pakeha histories and treatment of natural resources.
Elley graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Otago Polytechnic School of Art in 1999 and was awarded the painting prize the same year.

Still a work in progress...
As I finish new work it will be displayed here on my new website. Eventually I will populate this site with an archive of earlier work but for now it's all fresh! I am working on commission paintings at present and planning an exhibition in New Plymouth in October 2012 at Kina.
If you're in New Plymouth you have until the 19th February to check out my installation "Detenebrate" at the Govett Brewster Art Gallery, Open Window space. Best seen at night.
Jacqueline.
